This is the one a lot of us have been waiting ever so patiently on since it was first announced, but today – well, technically tomorrow – is GTA: San Andreas day. The game is already available to download in the New Zealand and Australia App Stores, and according to Pocketgamer will go live at midnight in the UK and the U.S, and presumably anywhere else it'll be available.

As the clock ticks over midnight around the world tomorrow morning, a gaming goliath goes on sale that has its very own companion app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. We're of course talking about Grand Theft Auto V, and the iFruit application which has become available in the App Store on the eve of the big launch. Only iFruit isn't just an app, it's an app representing a phone – just in case you didn't get the connection yet – with other apps inside of it. So, what do we get?

Rockstar Games announced yesterday that it will be porting one of their most popular games over to the iPhone platform. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars will make its iPhone debut sometime before the year is over (price still to be determined price).

This is simply more verification that Apple's iPhone OS can pull it's weight in the handheld gaming wars. If you can't wait until GTA's release, Gangstar: West Coast Hustle from Gameloft [iTunes Link] should be good enough to hold you over.

According to Rockstar, screen shots will be coming soon but until then feel free to take a look some Sony PSP images after the break.
